When making your team, it is good to try and
limit your type weaknesses as much as possible. Types like electric &
normal with only one weakness are good to have, especially ground &
fighting being highly scout able. When making your team, it helps to have a
hazer, and an aromatherapist/healbeller wouldn’t hurt you either but are not
necessary, a hazer/psuedo-hazer is though; it is like making any other
competitive team. Now for people who enjoy easy wins, I would recommend a team
along the lines of the following example...

I recommended these 3 for an example, I could point
out this team is very well rounded, since you only have 3 you must try and make
them well rounded, I combined a great physical attacker, a great special
attacker & a hazer/exploder. Latios/Latias set is calm mind, recover,
dragon claw, surf this is very helpful for the battle tower, as NO pokemon out
of all 386 resists both dragon & water, and calm mind boosts both of those
attacks, it is very helpful for getting 100 victories so you an get the gold
shield. Zangoose can be replaced with slaking/vigoroth/sandslash/rhydon any
good physical attacker, this is an example so if you cant get Zangoose you
could use a number of others, he is just filling a physical attacker position,
and becomes quite the threat with swords dance, and crush claw is very helpful
in the battle tower, it can make the difference between a win and a loss
lowering the opponents defense also influences switch, shadow ball is for
ghosts who avoid crush claw. Weezing is the hazer in this example, if your
opponent tries to calm mind itself, bring in Weezing, Weezing is a very well
rounded hazer with massive defenses, and only one weakness (psychic) and
explosion is very helpful in the battle tower, take out there strongest pokemon
if it is sent out against weezing, I like fire blast for steels they may bring
out, you don t have to put any effort points into weezings special attack for
it to be useful either. That is a team example of something to use,
coincidentally it is the team I got my 100 straight wins in the tower with, on
my first attempt, I hope it can bring you the same help. Also remember sleep
talkers are quite effective, torkoal & wailord for example. Staying power
(how long a pokemon can stay in battle) is also very important, putting a
chesto berry on someone with rest, and pokemon with recover/moonlight etc. is
also very important, and so is depleting your opponents staying power, which is
why I included stat boosting moves and an exploder in the example... as
explosion will usually KO most about everything that doesn t resist it, use
wisely.

Creating Your own Battle Message:If you mix records with a friend, that friend could
appear in your battle tower as an opponent. The six- phase message you create
will carry over with the record, as will your friend s message.

To create your battle message, talk to the boy
standing infront of the Battle Tower's PC. Then combine six words or short
phrases that you will say at the beginning of each battle.

If you would like to keep track of how well you re
doing at the Battle Tower Reception s desk or by looking at the back of your
trainer card. The PC on the receptionist s left counter displays your current
battle records and you highest battle record. After you have won a battle at
the Battle Tower, you can also view your records on the back of your trainer
card.
